Real interest rates, leverage, and bank risk-taking
Do low interest rate environments lead to greater bank risk-taking? We show that, when banks can adjust their capital structures, reductions in real interest rates lead to greater leverage and higher risk for any downward sloping loan demand function. However, if the capital structure is fixed, the effect depends on the degree of leverage: following a decrease in interest rates, well capitalize...
متن کاملTaking Positive Interest Rates Seriously
We propose a dynamic term structure model where interest rates of all maturities are bounded from below at zero. We show that positivity and continuity, combined with no arbitrage, impose such a tight restriction on the term structure that only one functional form is possible. Even more strikingly, the term structure is governed by exactly three sources of risk, only one of which is dynamic. Th...
متن کاملMonetary Policy without Interest Rates
Many econometric studies use both a narrative approach and an interest rate series to investigate the e ects of US monetary policy. The two alternative measures provide very similar conclusions. This similarity in the results is not likely to be found when central banks use numerous instruments, including unconventional quantitative targets. This paper studies the French experience with tempora...
متن کاملIs Real Interest Rate Risk Priced? Theory and Empirical Evidence
We propose a model in which real interest rates respond to both expected consumption growth and time preferences. Exposures to future consumption growth and time preference interest rate shocks are both priced relative to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model (CCAPM). However, the two types of interest rate risk have different prices, and when el...
متن کاملMonetary Policy and Long-term Interest Rates
This paper documents some new empirical results about the monetary policy and long-term interest rates in the United States. It shows that changes in the monetary policy stance are more predictable to the bond market in the 1990s than in the 1970s. This shift in the predictability of the monetary policy actions affects the policy’s impact on long-term interest rates as well as the forecasting p...
